by Tyrone Briggs

After a lengthy battle with cancer, Chicago Blackhawks longtime and much maligned owner Bill Wirtz has passed away.

Congratulations to Romiezzo for winning yesterday's contest with this caption:

Ref's thoughts inside his head: I wish I'd be raising the hand of that other hot chick behind me. Have a great day!

I'm being polite. Not necessarily for the man but his next of kin.

As a bitter Blackhawks fan. This is going to be as polite as I'm going to be about the matter. And it's taking a lot not to start dancing around and buy cigars.

Stop scrutinizing Grossman! Or did you forget that he's not black?

I never wished anyone specifically to die, but that doesn't mean an obituary page didn't make me smile every now and then...

We're debating over at JTJ if the Wirtz family will blackout the wake & funeral in the event of a non-sellout.

"debating" is JTJese for agreeing, right?

Actually, uniformity (conformity???) of the situation has not yet been established!
